Simmer-er

I read this on a blog today, and I think it describes me pretty well:

I’m usually not a prickly person. I don’t argue much because I honestly don’t have a lot to defend. Most of my opinions are moldable and if I read something different than what I believe, it usually causes me to stop and consider for a while. I’m a simmer-er. It takes a few weeks after a read or a discussion for my opinion to be fully formed. And by then, most people don’t care anymore. That means I was never interesting in my college classes. I didn’t raise my hand. It isn’t that I didn’t have anything to say. It’s just that I was always a month late to say the things. By then the rest of the world had moved into the more brilliant places.

This is not to say that I don't have any firm opinions, but it takes me awhile to think through issues.  I like to let things simmer.  Percolate.  Mull.  Ruminate.

In fact, I'm still thinking over something someone said at a Bible study over a month ago.  But that's a post for another time...after I finish thinking it over.
